In the world where people can pop, and that kills them - do they say "POP" as often as we do?

Hmmmmmmm!!!!! Good question!!!!

I think this depends on the world we're talking about. I'm only kind of sort of not really a world builder, so I tend to write about what I think is sexiest.

In my world, it's so over the top and crazy that Popping happens not only every day, but at any moment someone could pop you! (If you'er a woman) As a result, there's almost no angst or worry. Women pop.  It's just what they do. I don't treat my cahracters like real people and so then the characters don't treat each other with the value that our world has. Given the bits of historical context I've given- the whole women in power thing, risks of overpopulation of hundreds of children born to one pregnancy, and sheer frequency of it. Popping is just a part of life. But even more so than death is a part of our life in real life.

So........ in my world. Popping is like spilled milk. It's not so bad its taboo to talk about and in fact it's so common you kind of don't care. Cause if you cared you'd just be overthinking things and depress yourself. If you freaked out and mourend very spilled glass of milk, then you'd never be able to function. So in my stories, POPPING, BURSTING, EXPLODING, are just words people use to describe a common thing that happens.

Now, in a world more realistic. Wher einflation is not commonplace and popping means "Obliteration!!!" then yeah, popping is probably a bad word in polite conversation like death is. Some peple probably talk badly of inflation like people in our world do about stupidly dangerous fetishes like erotic suffocating or whatever. Or even viewed like a dangerous past time or athleticiism. For dare devil sports, someone dying in our world is a tragedy, but people kind of see it coming. So then POP is a descriptive term but not necessarily a polite way of saying it.

I dunno, just rambling!
